Extreme readings...

Post by agsteele »

For some reason, my overnight readings have left me with excessively high and incorrect readings. I'm not in itself overly concerned to locate the cause since this so far seems to be a one off.

But I would like to remove my 14158mm of rainfall and maximum temp of 47.8C.

Can anyone advise which files to edit/delete to reset my records back to normal?

I am running v1.9.3 1057

The easiest way to correct all-time records, assuming you haven't actually broken any genuine ones, is to stop Cumulus and copy the ini files (e.g. alltime.ini for all time records) from the latest backup folder in Cumulus from before the bogus data was downloaded.

To edit today's rainfall use the editor on the edit menu. If it was yesterday's total, use the dayfile.txt editor on the edit menu.
